WORST CAR BUYING EXPERIENCE EVER!
by Sam on 12/21/2020I sent in an inquiry for a telluride I found on their website listed for $42K. Michelle Godin responded. She went on to tell me that to lease this car would be $6100 down and $700/month!!! As could imagine i was blown away by this… ridiculous offer. After going back and forth for awhile Michelle informed me that the website prices are not accurate, that the car has been marked up over $7k and was now $50k due to supply and demand...I completely understand supply and demand...but when your website says one price and ALLOWS YOU TO WORK OUT A DEAL ELECTRONICALLY...you might want to lead with "hey the car cost a lot more than our website says...sorry". She then became condescending and rude "Ive tried to explain the reasoning..." Michelle said "our dealership is ONLY charging $7k over the MSRP and that doesnt include doc fees etc" I have been shopping for a telluride for weeks, i have contacted 6 different dealers and no one else is marking up tellurides more than $4k. I received an email from Lamar Mclaughlin (Director of Business Development) stating that the Disclaimer on the website explains the discrepancy in price. Please see disclaimer below: Lease this 2021 Kia Telluride EX (Model #: J4442) . With $2,995.00 down at $474 for 36 months with approved credit . A $0.00 security deposit is required. Due at signing payment of $4,119.27 includes first month's payment. Lessee responsible for maintenance, repairs, excessive wear and tear, and excess mileage over 12,000 miles/year at the rate of $$0.20/mile. Early lease termination fee may apply. All tax, title, government fees, bank fees, vehicle registration fees, and $483 dealer doc fee are additional. Total monthly payments are $17,073.72 . Option to purchase vehicle at lease end is $26,205.60. Total capital cost of $40,448.00. Financing available through KIA Lease National with some states excluded. Offers cannot be combined with any other advertised offer. See dealer for complete details. Lease and loan quoting is a dynamic process so payments and terms are subject to change prior to contract execution by all parties. The payment quote above assumes that these taxes and fees will be paid at the time of sale by the customer in addition to the down payment amount stated. If these taxes and fees are not paid by customer at the time of sale, the quoted payment will be higher since these amounts will be included in the amount financed. Residential restrictions may apply. In stock units only. Dealer installed accessories are extra. Offer Expires: 01/04/2021 This disclaimer contains all the numbers of the deal i worked out, there is a single sentence in there "See dealer for complete details" which allows them to completely alter the deal...What they are doing is so shady and is false advertising. I would not and will not ever buy a car from any dealership associated with Commonwealth Motors. AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND OUTRAGOUS PRICES. "Shop us last, you'll love us"...yea i dont think so, never had a worse car buying experience in my life. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU!We were in a pinch
by lorijeff4526 on 08/12/2018My wife had just totaled her vehicle and we needed an affordable replacement vehicle right away. Between Shaun, Zeke and Josh they were able to find us the right vehicle for our family at a very reasonable price taking our financial… situation into account. We were able to drive away within 10 days of the accident thanks to their help.buying a new car
by mark55wilson on 04/04/2018Our sale person was very, very good. He knew the car very well and we give him an A for that. But we do have comments: The first was in the sale of the extend warranty and oil change. The way it was presented to us, no one told us that… it was only good at that dealer. We have 2 others Ika dealers closer that Commonwealth and wanted to take it there for service, but now we are locked into only using them. When I bought my extended warranty on my Toyota, it is good at ANY Toyota dealer. We love our car, and really liked our sales person, but if we knew that the extended oil change and extended warranty was good there, we would Not have purchase that. They have no loyalty program. I have had both Fords and Toyotas and for every time I spend anything (service or parts) at those dealers, I get points, that I can use later for other purchases, weather it was service or parts. They do not have anything like that. Waiting room is very basic, compared to other dealers.Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear everything went well for you.

Great Inventory and great to work with!
by newcarkimmie on 03/30/2018I had a great experience buying a new Sportage at Commonwealth Kia. Bob Nerden was a pleasure to work with. Funny and thorough, and didn't pressure me at all. That was important to me, as this was such a big decision. I communicated… with the Sales Manager Josh via email before ever showing up - and they were able to be very helpful when I arrived. When I picked up the car, Bob reviewed all of the cars features with me, and allowed me to ask any questions. It's also great that the sales representatives can sell from all of the Commonwealth Motors (if you are comparing different makes/models) - I however had already settled on the Kia Sportage before I arrived. Overall great experience!Thank you for your review and congratulations on your new Kia Sportage! It is great to hear Bob could provide you with a positive car buying experience. Please don't hesitate to contact us if we can assist you with anything else. Happy driving! Charlene - Customer Relations | info@shopuslast.com | Office Phone 978-687-3000

Best Dealership
by altravers on 07/27/2017I am very thankful to Nicole Carrasco, Bob Nerden and Eric Krist. I built a car through kia.com and it shot off my information to several dealerships. Nicole contacted me a couple of times and I almost ignored her because I already… reviewed their inventory and they did not have what I wanted. But her persistence paid off, we spoke and I was very specific about some of the non-negotiable requirements. Whether it was luck or just coincidence, my vehicle was on its way to their dealership. They made the process very easy! Between Bob Nerden (Salesman) and Eric Krist (Finance), they made sure they worked within my financial parameters and my very busy schedule, which included meeting me one evening just before they closed which kept Bob after hours. Since I was buying a car that hadn't been delivered yet, Bob kept me well informed of the progress. He gave me a very quick (to ensure we werent there all day) but informative tour of all the new/fun convenience features of the vehicle! He also helped set up certain applications like pairing my phone and if I had a power cord at the time, he would have helped with setting up Car Play but he showed/told me how to do it. Last, he followed up to make sure that I spoke with my insurance company, remind me to pick up my new registration and have my new vehicle inspected. The inspection is free the first time. I love my new car!! Thank you!Thank you for sharing your experience with us! Our team works incredibly hard to exemplify the commitment to customer care and we're so thankful that your time with us was well spent. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions or future auto needs as we are always here to help. Sincerely, Charlene - Customer Relations | info@shopuslast.com | Office Phone 978-687-3000

Third time and looking for a 4th visit :)
by Carmen_Ricardo on 09/13/2016updated 09/23/2016I went to inquired about lease information and the deal that Adolfo and Brian Philo found for us was amazing that we ended up trading in our Civic 2014 for an Odyssey 2016. Just so you know, this is our 3rd vehicle from Commonwealth Honda… in less than 2 years :) First two sales people were Jonathan and Gilberto :)Thank you for taking the time to write this review.

Pleasureable experience
by RobertHick63 on 09/10/2016updated 09/16/2016Sales Representative Roy Mazzrani was outstanding. Its not easy dealing with a Veteran with PTSD, and i must say, he dealt with me very well. Most people would take offence to my anger but he took things in stride, gave me space to vent,… and handled things well. When i have an episode triggered its not fun, so thanks. He also showed myself and my wife the vehicles we wished to see and answered all our questions proving he is very knowledgeable at his job. He was easy to talk with and a pleasure to deal with. My daughter recently leased a vehicle and Roy was the sales representative, thats why we contacted him. My home is going to be paid off at the end of 2017 and I hope Roy is still a valued employee of yours because my wife will be getting a 2018 Nissan Pathfinder. My father told me many years ago that you don't survive in business from a casual customer, you flourish from repeat customers so treat them well. I believe Roy has gone above and beyond satisfying us and we will be back. A sincere thank you to Roy and your dealership for all you have done. Respectfully, Robert & Deborah HickeyThanks so much for the excellent review! Please come back to see us if you need anything at all. We look forward to working with you again.

I love Commonwealth Motors!
by Smashley36 on 09/07/2016updated 09/16/2016Kevin Petersen was extremely nice and helpful after I totaled my car and was looking for a new one. The amazing customer service I received at Commonwealth made my experience so much better. I loved how your dealership helped me from… everything to picking out the right car to financing with my bank and dealing with my insurance. I had nothing but a great experience from beginning to end. I have never liked car dealerships before because I always felt they were too pushy but I love Commonwealth Motors!Thank you for your wonderful feedback.

Excellent Service!
by BriannaHickey on 08/31/2016updated 09/09/2016Roy, my sales rep, was very friendly! Immediately showed me the car upon arrival. Explain everything well for me being a first time leasing agent.
